Interior
The hotel is located: the last seventeenth century royal “jeu de paume” or “real tennis” court in the capital. It was built in 1634 by Louis XIII, a keen player who practiced enthusiastically. Matches were played here until 1747. After that the craze for the game declined and the court was converted into business premises.
Two centuries later in 1987 the majestic three hundred year old beams and stonework caught the eye of architect Guy Prache. He decided to build a hotel while retaining the character of the vast hall which is listed as a French Historical Monument.
There are thirty rooms in 5 categories: single, single superior, double classic, double superior, junior suite and suite.
